As-salaam alaikum. I suggest that you go by what you have been told by your local mullah. It is our intentions which count, so it is much better to pay what you think is the right amount instead of not paying because you cannot agree on the right amount. That is my opinion.

Here are some fatwas by Shaikh Ahmed Kutty on zakat that may be helpful:
